Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in employer-sponsored retirement plans, used by everyone from asset managers to recordkeepers to financial wellness providers. But with evolution also comes risks, from bad inputs to cybersecurity concerns. When operating under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the same processes and evaluations must be in place as they would be for other plan design and investment decisions, according to Michael Abbott, a partner in Foley & Lardner LLP who works with ERISA plan fiduciary clients. “We are still in an environment where going through the procedural prudence and process matters,” Abbott says. “Just relying on an AI-generated output is probably not going to get you where you need to be in terms of satisfying ERISA requirements.” In a post concerning the use of AI and 401(k) fiduciary and investment committees, Abbott and colleague Aaron Tantleff, also a partner in Foley & Lardner, laid out a variety of ways AI is being used in financial services.
